Done in a way not to set up future films, John Wick received critical praise for the incredible world-building that the film had achieved. The world was built around an interesting economy of assassins. Judging by the name of the new series, it will likely revolve around the hotel that houses many of these assassins, which is most people’s favorite part about John Wick.
